Created by Stephen Carpenter, Jim Kouf and Angel's David Greenwalt, Grimm follows homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), a Grimm descendant who wards off supernatural beings from the world.

Grimm is the first NBC show to be picked up for another season, reports TVLine.

The series, which is inspired by the Grimms' Fairy Tales from brothers Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm, also features David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby, Bitsie Tulloch, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz and Reggie Lee.

Greenwalt previously said of his series: "Most fairytales actually involve some kind of a crime or a horror. Like in Cinderella, her sisters actually have their eyes pecked out by birds.
